The Components of a Dating App Profile#
Dating app profiles are composed of several sections. Each section is an opportunity for you to highlight a unique side of your personality. Think of your dating app profile like a shop in a crowded street market like Colaba Causeway. Here, you’re selling yourself, but so are 10000 other people. Users who come across your profile are going to take a quick peek, and if they don’t see anything interesting within the first 5 seconds, move on to the next one. The challenge is to create a profile so compelling that it makes people pause, take a deeper look and want to “try it (you 😉) on”. Let’s look at the top 3 components of a profile that you absolutely should focus on making engaging and compelling, if you want matches.
Profile Pictures#
This one is rather obvious - most mainstream dating apps allow you to upload pictures, and you should absolutely have pictures: as many as the app allows. Most apps allow at least six uploads, and you should aim to have all six pictures. As a rule of the thumb, try to follow the following restrictions:
- At least 4 photos with you as the primary subject
- At least 2 photos where there is a clear focus on you and your face
- All 6 photos should have different contexts: E.g., you are wasting precious real estate if you upload two gym selfies. Show yourself in a different pose or performing some other activity.
- High Quality Photos - Avoid photos with grainy / blurry details

Prompts#
Most dating apps will allow you to select three prompts and write your answers to them. Prompts are amazing, and the section that generates most engagement in dating app profiles, across all apps! Unfortunately, very few people understand how to make prompts work for you, and get you more matches. Prompts should be used to showcase your opinions, values, and go beyond stating facts. If you are writing a prompt like “After work you can find me: playing badminton”, you are making a terrible mistake. You can simply select Badminton as an interest in the hobbies section. We would call writing factual answers to prompts as one of the top 3 mistakes you can make in your dating app profile. Instead, try to write something compelling and engaging, like “Don’t be mad if I say Pretentious coffee brewers are like those indie bands no one likes but everyone pretends to. Just make coffee, not a performance art, please”. This prompt presents a strong opinion, is funny, and invites engagement - if you are someone who loves brewing, you would love to disagree with this person. If you agree with the view, then you are strongly invited to engage as well.

Prompt WriterBio#
Apps like Bumble and Tinder have a clear Bio or “About Me” field, where people typically list mundane facts about themselves, making the same mistake that they do with prompts. A bio is a way for you to bring out a fun side of you - write about the things that matter to you, what you seek and directly invite engagement from people who view your profile.
